SEVEN YEARS INTO ITS 15-YEAR RUN, THE RED GREEN SHOW was just hitting its stride, or was that the fan? Anyway, this complete season of the public television comedy hit features some of the show's greatest moments. It was the year Red made the double-wide limo in Handyman Corner and the year the Repair Shop opened with its motto: "If it ain't broke, you're not trying." It was also the year the lodge members first uttered their solemn prayer: "I'm a man, but I can change if I have to, I guess."

Join Red, Harold, and all the guys of Possum Lodge for a year's worth of doing what men do when women aren't around – and some things that are even worse.

AS RED SAYS, "YOU HAVE TO GROW OLD, but you don't have to mature." Eight years into its 15-year run, THE RED GREEN SHOW showed no signs of maturity. This complete season of the public television hit sees Red at his most inventive, making a heart pacemaker out of a digital clock and trying to run the lodge electrical system from a car cigarette lighter, just to name a couple dismal but hilarious failures. It was also the year that Red ran for mayor and Harold ran off... to college. College???

Written by and starring Steve Smith

"THEY SAY NECESSITY IS THE mother of invention. Don't know who the father is; probably remorse." So says Red Green, although this wisdom doesn't stop him from turning a car into a dump truck or using a dump truck to clean out his car. The complete ninth season of the public television hit's 15-year run also sees Harold leave the Lodge for corporate life in the big city (with frequent visits from his uncle, of course). Meanwhile, gas station attendant Dale joins the group, and Ranger Gord begins his series of oh-so-educational cartoons.

ONE OF RED'S MANY MOTTOES IS "spare the duct tape, spoil the job." So when the lodge actually runs out of duct tape in one of these episodes, chaos ensues.

He also plays host to a foster child, 500 visiting Americans, meddle-some network executives, and Dalton's emu ranch.

Red, of course, comes up with even crazier contraptions, including a castle car and lawn-mower coffeemaker.
